Product Description

Our Sunday school teachers taught us to "read your Bible, pray every day and youll grow, grow, grow!" Surely their advice was correct, if not comprehensive. In The Sacred Way Tony Jones explores additional spiritual practices, such as the Jesus Prayer, Spiritual Direction and Pilgrimage that Christians have used to grow closer to God. If you are desperate for a fuller communion with God and interested in the spiritual pathways of the saints, you will find The Sacred Way to be a trustworthy guide.

The author provides a valuable resource to help stretch people who want to grow in their faith. The book offers timeless, historical information many are unaware of. I appreciate that it does so without condemning other styles. The book is an invitation to try a "new for you" approach to devotional life.

A concise, well written introduction and explanation of great personal disciplines for those hungering for more intimacy with Christ. Silence, meditation, spiritual direction and so many more are presented. These are time honored disciplines that have been forgotten. I am ordering several for family and friends.
